Griffin in May took part in a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, in which she paraded around with a prop of a bloody, severed head featuring the likeness of Trump.

'I am sorry. I went too far. While Griffin removed the photo and asked for forgiveness, it lives on forever on social media. I understand how it offends people. Ali tweeted a screenshot of the email Griffin received from CBS Corporation's Arnold Kopelson, who wrote the kind of "Dear Leader" letter you'd expect to read in something like V For Vendetta, further signaling our descent into a dystopia. Just look at the promo for her "Laugh Your Head Off" tour.

So the comedian went into seclusion, but after about three months in self-imposed exile (which was an act of self-preservation, given the death threats she was receiving), Griffin is ready to act as provocateur once more.
